Episode 610-With Shannon Lawrence

The Functional Nerds Podcast

This week, Patrick and Tracy welcome Shannon Lawrence, author of Myth Stalker: Wendigo Nights.

About Myth Stalker: Wendigo Nights: When Selina Moonstone, a Myth Stalker, gets a late night call from her mentor about a Wendigo problem, she arms up and heads to Canada, only to find out the Wendigo is someone close to her.

Accustomed to facing off with the all too real creatures of Native American mythology, Selina changes gears from destruction to frantic search for a cure. Working against her is the fact that there is no known way to rid a person of the Wendigo spirit once it has begun the consumption of the victim’s soul. In her youth, she learned the hard way that extermination is the only answer.

With her loved one’s transition to Wendigo imminent, Selina must fight her own lifelong training as a Myth Stalker in order to find another way. She gathers a mismatched group of allies, including a charming Sin Eater and a conceited mercenary Cryptid hunter from her past, and embarks on a mission to find a solution before it’s too late.

About Shannon Lawrence: A fan of all things fantastical and frightening, Shannon Lawrence writes in her dungeon when her minions allow, often accompanied by her familiars. She writes primarily horror and fantasy. Her stories can be found in several anthologies and magazines, and her collections, Blue Sludge Blues & Other Abominations and Bruised Souls & Other Torments, are available in stores. You can also find her as a co-host of the podcast “Mysteries, Monsters, & Mayhem.” When she’s not writing, she’s hiking through the wilds of Colorado and photographing her magnificent surroundings. Though she often misses the Oregon coast, the majestic and rugged Rockies are a sight she could never part with. Besides, in Colorado there’s always a place to hide a body or birth a monster. What more could she ask for? Find her at thewarriormuse.com or mysteriesmonstersmayhem.com.
